According to a report commissioned by CEO network TechNet, the US app industry has been found to have more than 466,000 jobs having built itself up from zero as recently as five years ago. The data finds that California — the home of Silicon Valley — is unsurprisingly the top state for app-based jobs, accounting for one quarter of them. New York is said to be the top metro area with just short of 10 percent of all positions based there, though the report claims that the industry’s jobs are well spread across the country.
